Agriculture

Reflecting the latest developments in farm machinery and practices, Agriculture at Sparsholt continues to be a growing choice for many who are eager to become the next generation of skilled technical staff and managers.

Our students learn all about modern farming techniques and the technology shaping work on the land, alongside hands-on experience on our working commercial farm and in our workshops making repairs to machinery and tractors. Getting involved in events from a charity ploughathon to visits to shows, industry events and machinery dealers, our students gain high levels of knowledge and practical skills in all aspects of the industry.
